This Pennsylvania couple are now parents to a group of six brothers and sisters who spent 1,640 days in foster care.

On May 23, 2019, Steve Anderson-McLean and Rob Anderson-McLean of Pittsburgh officially adopted Carlos, 14, Guadalupe, 13, Maria, 12, Selena, 10, Nasa, 9, and Max, 7.

"The judge asked, 'Do you understand at this point forward they are your children? They are just as much as your biological children.' Obviously we knew that, but when I looked up and saw all those eyes, it was very emotional," he said."We never imagined we'd be lucky enough or blessed enough to have six."

Steve and Rob Anderson-McLean have been together for 18 years. They shared a commitment ceremony in 2006 and were legally married in Maryland in 2013. Steve Anderson-McLean said he and his husband were inspired to adopt siblings after seeing a story on TV about another couple who did the same.

Потрясающе прекрасная история! Счастья новой семье!

pamela_pmlpatt That's a wonderful act- and I hope with all my heart they will be able to handle all aspects of an instant, large family. It's difficult to forget the two women who adopted a large group of children(not all siblings) and, unable to cope, drove off a cliff. Parenting's hard.

Blessings!!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy Father’s Day!

Children in foster care do need real homes and love. Not material gifts.

Happy Father’s Day to these wonderful and loving dads!!!

While abortion and other controversial issues take center stage, wonderful everyday heroes like these are often overlooked. A poignant reminder of the benevolence and greatness of average Americans.

Way to go guys!!! Happy Father’s Day!!!

What amazing men these two dads are.

Awesome!! Thanks & Happy Father's Day to all!

The authors of 'no politically correct' adds will be send, for mind opening stage, on Mars.

What a great story on Father's Day! Congrats to all eight members of one single family unit! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

ChrisCuomo Wow! What an amazing couple. These kids are in for some happy days ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good Samaritans and wishing them the best!

Good luck

The Livingston County Sheriff's Department is investigating her disappearance. I am sorry 2 say this but she prob is not alive,,,,just my opinion These stories of people missing for decades always make me so sad. Can't imagine the pain felt by these families. I pray that Paige is found and that her family receives the peace and comfort they so deserve. I will pray for them. Took em long enough to start investigating

Jayme Closs' kidnapper gets two life sentences for killing her parents and 40 years for abductionJayme Closs' relatives spent three months agonizing over the Wisconsin teenager's whereabouts before she escaped from the man who'd gunned down her parents and imprisoned her in a remote cabin. On Friday, they spent a few hours facing Jake Patterson one more time in a courtroom, as he was sentenced for killing Jayme's parents and kidnapping the 13-year-old girl. Sentences of life without parole are immoral and barbaric. Every prisoner should have the chance at parole, particularly offenders who offend in their early adulthood, before full maturity. I don't know where other people get such weird hearts Kill that nigha already

Dollar hovers close to two-year peak on trade-war, growth worriesThe dollar held steady against its key rivals on Thursday as escalating Sino-U.S... The sky is falling The only thing not growing is the interest on that dollar If the economy is truly doing so well, that means the value of the dollar is up. If the value of the dollar is up, that means it takes less of them to buy barrels of oil. Barrels of oil that cost less dollars means lower gas prices. So I ask, why is fuel going up and not down?
